Summary

Do you live in tune with your monthly cycle? Do you rest when your body is calling you to rest? Do you stand in your power when you have more energy? In today’s episode, Rachel has just started her period. She shares how she has been feeling this time around, from her philosophical ponderings, to struggling with feeling small, and a funny story involving Dennis. Our cycles can often determine what we need in a day: how much rest we should get, how creative we feel, how we should nourish ourselves. But we don’t always listen to it. This episode will inspire you to get to know your cycle intimately. Being on your period can be a time of true connection and lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, but we are taught to pretend nothing is different. Tune in to change how you move through your day and listen to what your body is telling you.

0:00.0	On today's episode of the podcast, I am on day one of my period, and this becomes a very period-focused
0:07.4	podcast. I talk about getting to know our cycle intimately and getting to know our bodies
0:14.5	intimately and how we actually can learn to tune in and listen enough so that we change our relationships with our bodies,
0:23.5	which in the end is going to change how we navigate our day today.
0:28.2	Being on our period is a really tender time that can actually lead to more connection
0:33.9	and more understanding of ourselves, but we are taught to shut everything down and
0:39.4	pretend like nothing has changed and to continue living exactly the same as we do any other
0:44.7	week. This episode might inspire you to change how you move through your day to day during
0:50.4	different times of your cycle and at the very least to really tune in so you can listen
0:55.8	to what your body is telling you. I loved recording this episode. I hope you love to listen.

1:16.1	All right, my loves, welcome back home.
1:18.3	Welcome back to the show.
1:20.0	Welcome back to us.
1:27.1	Our moment of quiet, of connection, of, well, not so much quiet on my end, I guess. More quiet on your end as you listen.
1:31.6	But yeah, I was thinking this morning just, I really want to know what this podcast is for you.
1:39.3	If you listen every week and you wake up in the morning and you're like, yay, it's a from the heart episode
1:45.2	today and you feel excited about that. Maybe you have your little ritual or your habit of how
1:51.4	you listen to the show. If it's out for a walk or while you're doing something else around the
1:56.2	house or on your way driving to work in the morning, I would love to know just what this podcast
2:02.8	actually is for you. If it feels like a moment to ground, a moment to soften, like a moment of
2:10.8	actual quiet as you just listen and tune in, if it's a moment of relatability, of feeling less alone, maybe I often speak to things
